This week I ran into the @seattlegirlsedu being led by @bikeworks206 on the Central District #StayHealthyStreet. Seeing all those students biking while singing and talking reminds me of why it’s so important to have streets where kids can be kids.

Today, I talked with students at @seattlegirlsedu about writing stories and what it’s like to be an author! Their thoughtful questions inspired me and reminded me who I write for. Thanks for inviting me, Lydia! I love watching students realize they can do this work too.

Takes from day two at #NAISPoCC, which happens to be in Seattle this year! PoCC offers a variety of programming that allows people of color and allies in independent schools to come together, reflect on their individual experiences, and learn from each other.

How did Europe become a continent? It's not surrounded by any water. This is called cognitive dissonance.
